After Action Report
The Rockets handled the Cavaliers 112-102. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Rockets cashed in. The Rockets bent the defense out of shape from deep; the Cavaliers came in with something to prove after a loss. The Rockets bench chemistry carried them. Cavaliers' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.
